This is a resurrected post that I started back in December. How much clearer we can see, just a few weeks hence..

Last December I was privileged to attend an inspiring one day gathering of some of the most insightful marketplace ministry leaders I’m aware of. It was an intimate gathering which allowed some close contact with the speakers, which included C. Peter Wagner, Dennis Peacocke, Lance Wallnau, Linda Rios Brooke and Chuck Pierce.

Going into this conference, I was very curious what their perspective would be on our current state of affairs, given the wonderful mixture of apostolic and prophetic anointings placed in these strategic thinkers. I’ve done a fair amount of research into the gravity of economic realities we’re now facing and honestly wondered if anybody was coming to the same conclusions I’ve drawn.

I’m sad to report that I found a great deal of confirmation and validation across the board and that indeed, things ARE as bad as I been thinking. They agreed; the ship is going down and it’s only a matter of time.

BUT THIS IS NOT BAD NEWS. You see, we’re privileged to be living in the Day of Shakings! The systems of this world are filled with corruption and death, built upon the principles of greed and lust and a disregard for the principles of the Kingdom of God. They MUST come down to make room for the new life-giving systems of the Kingdom to be built and established. They are bankrupt and the game is over. Linda Rios Brook paraphrased thusly, “if the horse is dead, it’s probably time to dismount.”

The Obama team and the Democrat-controlled congress will do their best to fix the problems, but this will serve only to delay the inevitable. I certainly don’t envy them.

Linda shared the following well-established principles of leadership:

Stop doing what’s guaranteed not to work.

If the plan does not work, get a new plan.

Opportunity rarely comes through the front door announcing itself. It usually comes as misfortune or defeat.

Thus, we are living in extraordinary days. Everything that can be shaken, will be so that the artificial can no longer appear to be real. God is not mocked, even by the government and politicians. As a nation, we are reaping what we have sown. It’s time to plant a new crop and look forward to an extended season of tending that which is precious even as the fire of God burns up the noxious weeds in our lives.

A very unusual and historic event took place yesterday. I believe February 27, 2009 will be noted in the history books as the start of another American Revolution. Thousands of Americans spontaneously took to the streets in over 50 cities all across the nation to protest the economic policies of the Obama administration and the Democrats pork-laden “Stimulus” plan.

I was alerted to the Tea Party phenomenon by a friend through Facebook only the day before, and went looking for the closest event to me. Sure enough, high noon at the Federal Court House in Tampa was on the schedule. (Kudos to John Hendrix for jumping in and organizing the Tampa event). I shot out a quick SMS to a few of my peeps, who jumped in with me and off we went.

We arrived about 10 minutes early, and already a crowd of about 60 people were gathered. These were just ordinary Americans, young and old, who are obviously frustrated, angry and fed up with what is happening to our nation. Most of those I talked with had only discovered the event the day before, which explained the hastily made signage they were waving from the sidewalks on both sides of the street. WATCH THE VIDEO

Chants of “No More Bailouts”, “No More Nelson” (referring to Florida Democrat Senator Bill Nelson, who voted for the Stimulus package) elicited mixed reactions from passing motorists. Most looked on with curiosity, some yelled back obscenities, but many honked their horns and waved in agreement, rewarding the protesters efforts. At several points the street grew noisy as a chorus of horns erupted from the lanes of traffic stopped at a red light across the intersection.

There was strong agreement that these protests were only the beginning. Everyone there represented many others who wanted to attend but could not. Most are calling for bigger, more widespread protests that will grow exponentially as the frustration with the insanity going on in Washington provokes the silent masses to make their voices known.

Is this truly the start of another Revolution? Only time will tell. I believe we are reaching a tipping point in America, and if the liberals in Washington don’t stop the march to socialism, its only a matter of time before things get ugly.

Get involved. Join the protest. Get informed and stop letting others do the talking for you. Make your voice heard. Here are some helpful links to get you started.

Al Gore (bless his pointy little head) won great acclaim for his “stellar” work reporting on the dreaded GLOBAL WARMING CRISIS. Well, never fear, dear readers. We shall not have time to worry about human carbon emissions much longer, for his party (the mindless robotic zombiods) are creating a far greater, undisputable and imminent crisis – the crisis of debt. Your dollar is shrinking faster than a snowman in Florida. Insanity has officially become the order of the day on the Hill.

The government has no money for these bailouts. They have to borrow it from the Federal Reserve (a private banking entity) at interest, and fire up the presses to produce all this money. Everytime they print a new dollar, every dollar you have in your wallet, bank account or shoebox is worth less. How much less? In this video, Glenn Beck explains. Please SHARE THIS VIDEO WITH YOUR FRIENDS. We must stop the insanity, or pretty soon, you’ll be carrying your money around in a wheelbarrow (study a bit of world history if you don’t believe me).
